Re: PTF QUESTION -- MIDRANGE-L

Even though you said you only want the cume, with a cume order you willalways get

2 group ptfs - hipers and DB2. I would always apply these with the cume.
Hipers are all the critical fixes after the cume was cut.
DB2 is all the database fixes, and there have been many.

Other groups are important, depending upon what products and applicationsyou are running.

If running Apache webserver - there is a HTTP group.
If running Websphere - there is a group for the Websphere product you run.
See the web link Scott listed for all the groups.
You can easily set up to load & apply cume & groups in a single ipl.
To check your own system, run DSPPTF cmd with no parms.

1st page top entry will be a TLxxxx and the last 5 digits is the yy andjulian.
